Source: Mike Woodson interviewing with Pistons again

AP File PhotoMike Woodson, who coached the Atlanta Hawks for six seasons, was an assistant under Larry Brown when the Pistons won the 2004 NBA championship.

Former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson will interview for the Detroit Pistons' job for a second time.

A person with knowledge of the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team isn't commenting on the coaching search, said Woodson is set to interview again Thursday. Detroit fired coach John Kuester on June 5.

Woodson was an assistant for Larry Brown when the Pistons won the 2004 NBA title — on a staff that also included Kuester.

Detroit faces a more uncertain offseason than most teams. New owner Tom Gores officially took over at the beginning of June. The Pistons went 30-52 last season amid feuding between coaches and players.

Tayshaun Prince is a free agent and may not return. Ben Wallace says he's leaning toward coming back, but he turns 37 in September and played only 54 games last season.

Wallace was asked earlier this month about the possibility of playing for Woodson.

"I think Mike would do a great job. I think he did a great job with Atlanta," Wallace said. "I think he took those guys as far as they were ready to go. I think he'd be a great fit for us."

Woodson was Atlanta's coach from 2004-10. He went 206-286 in those six seasons and took the Hawks to the playoffs the last three years. Woodson was let go after Atlanta was swept in the second round by Orlando in 2010.

Gores is the chairman and CEO of Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Platinum Equity. SCP Worldwide, a firm chaired by former New York Knicks executive Dave Checketts, has advised Platinum Equity on the acquisition.
